This blog has been online for 20 years, and I've tried to spend a lot more time writing content than fiddling with the toolchain or theme for it, because too many blogs never see the light of day because the theme is somehow never ready. It started life on Textpattern, spent a few years on Serendipity, and ended up in 2011 migrated to Wordpress.

I've been using Optic's CLI, an OpenAPI tool that does a bunch of things including diffing OpenAPI descriptions and comparing HTTP traffic with OpenAPI. My use case was an established API that didn't have an OpenAPI file yet - using Optic we could create one as a starting point, and then move to a design-first workflow to make the changes that I was there to help with. For this blog post, I've used the example of https://api.joind.in as an excellent representation of an API still in use, but without an OpenAPI file and not built with code that a code generator would recognise.
